:: UK Road Trip #14 :: BURGERTIME ...it's time!!!
« on: December 11, 2009, 09:11:01 PM »


Friday, the 28th of August 2009. Tomorrow will be a very special day... I'll do a new road trip for a very special game.

Ok, let's check my camera, I would like to prepare some pre-road trip pictures with my latest t-shirt   ::) :P

...but ... what happens with my camera  :o ???  :arrow:



Jesus! My beloved CANON IXUS v3  :shock: the one I'm using since maybe 8 years for everything (road trip, restoration, holidays, ...EVERYTHING!)



is ... dead???  :o :'(



Arghh! It's now too late for buying a new one  :evil: Impossible to do a road trip without taking any picture! And especially for this one! ...OK... I'll have to use my mobile phone, a Siemens sgh-f480 that includes a 5M pixels camera. It's better than nothing  :-\

Saturday, the 29th of August 2009.... This is it! The D day  :P

Very early in the morning... a last check before departure : Dr Pepper? Check! Namco music CD? Check! Pac Man hooded pullover? Check! Food? .... Food? ... no food? OK we will have to buy something for the breakfast on the road!



For my road trip stats'  :arrow:



Once more... we're going to U.K. ...for the fourteenth time!  8)  :P  :arrow:



6:09AM ... Ignition!  8)

After approx. one hour of driving, first stop for buying our breakfast... in this AC Restaurant  :arrow:



Usual stuff  :D  :arrow:



...approx two hours later... arriving at the French border...



Since my first UK road trip... now, for this UK #14... I can tell you I know perfectly the road  ;D 8) ...



Do not be afraid regarding the channel tunnel ... just pick up your date via the website, select an hour, pay with your credit card, and try to be here on time. Don't worry, if you're here (at Calais) too early... or too late, you can use an other shuttle... without paying extra if you are less than two hours before or after the hour you got during your reservation. From my experience on this, I NEVER have to pay an extra... and sometime I was very l8te regarding my reservation time  ;)

Here, we put the credit card I've used for the reservation...Greetings Professor Falken, Shall We Play a Game?  ;D  :arrow:



OK... entering le Shuttle... we are in France...



Less than one hour later... exiting le Shuttle... we are in UK ... The road of the 'Lords'  8) ;) M20 !!  :-*  :arrow:



My navigation car system says : "One hour to go before your final destination". Usually, we eat AFTER picking the game, but this time... let's eat BEFORE...  :P ... Hey ... This is a road trip about an hamburgers isn't it?  ::) :P So this is THE road trip for such pictures  :arrow:



Darth Nunette : "Burger King? Not again?"

...but ... but ... This is THE Burger road trip! Come on  ;) ::) :P  :arrow:



How to resist to Burger King ::) ARGHHHH  ;D  :arrow:



This is ... a tasty Burger!  :-*  :arrow:



Listen Nunette... Since 1954...



...

...

Yes? ... and? ...what are you looking???  

...





...




 :ghost:  ;D


Mhhh.... ok, let's go back to the story  ;)

Driving in UK is still a little bit dangerous... keeping the left... something it can be frightening  :roll:



For some reasons... I'm now thinking about the game SPEEDWAY...



... and I don't know why ::) :P  :arrow:



 ;D

...and... here we are... here's the pride... I was waiting for this moment a long time... she is there  :-* :-* :-*  :arrow:



I cannot believe it... Rav is finally ok to sell me this beautiful cabinet : BURGERTIME  :-*  :arrow:



As you can see, the cabinet is in very nice shape  :-*  :arrow:



We talk about the arcade scene... the difficulty to maintain these games alive... and many others things... I played some games too  :P ....but ... I'm a little bit sad for Rav' ... I know how he likes its games, such this BT, but now he's moving on something else...

Ok, let's load Mr Pepper :







Maximum protection of course  :)



Deal is done... Thanks again for selling this cabinet to me, Rav'  :-* ... you know I'll take care of it  :-* :-* :-*



Ok, it's time to go back to home...

Hey? WHat's this ... definitively not a DeLorean... but maybe a real time machine?  ::)  :arrow:



I'm very exited... I'm bringing back a BurgerTime  :-* ...but I still have to be careful ... Ok Nunette... Keep left... no problem  ;D



Each time I'm in UK... I try to bring back some local drinks & foods  ;D :arrow:



Still in UK... but not for long... here's the last exit...



Ops... we've missed the shuttle. So we have to wait maybe 25 minutes... So we have some time to watch around... hey! rabbits here ;D  :arrow:



...Pepper has been 'Dr Peppered' by Darth Nuno  ;D  :arrow:



Ok, le Shuttle is ready... let's go in...





During the 'under channel' travel : I'm sleeping ... close to my ...  ::) :P :-*  ;D ;D ;D  :arrow:



...



 :ghost: :ghost: :ghost:  ;D ;D ;D

Arriving in France...





...and later... in few meters... a new BurgerTime cabinet will enter in Belgium  :P  :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:  :arrow:



During this road trip, a very special moment... see the counter ... what'll happen??? Back to zero  ::) ::) ::) ?



No!  ;D It's a modern car  ;D ;D ;D :arrow:



22:35 ... arriving at home ... safe ... and happy  :-*  :arrow:





Trip : Belgium > France > UK > France > Belgium
Total length : 16h26min - 1167 km on the road, 100km under water (Eurotunnel)

I'm too tired to unload the cab... I'll do it tomorrow  8)

ZZZZzzzz....Zzzzzz..zzzzZZZzz  :)

wonderful job on that roadtrip report, bruno! and of course a huge CONGRATS for that burgertime game. the cabinet is one of the most beautiful arcade cabinets out there and it's nice to see a wish list completed. once again: congratulations! hope the game is working and you have fun playing it.
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

I love Burger Time.

Nice catch !

PS : There's a pac-man cab on sale near Evreux (France) 200 €. Quite good shape.
